HED Vanquish V45 Disc Brake Wheelset Info
The HED Vanquish V45 Disc Brake Wheelset is a high-performance road wheelset built to deliver aerodynamic speed, stable handling, and tubeless-ready versatility. Designed for riders who demand race-level efficiency from climbs to descents, it blends aggressive rim geometry with durable materials and components.
The V45 uses a full carbon 45 mm rim profile with a wide internal width of 22.4 mm and external width of 30.9 mm. It comes equipped with CenterLock disc hubs, thru-axle compatibility (12×100 mm front / 12×142 mm rear), and is optimized for clincher or tubeless tires. The setup is tuned for 28c tires to balance rolling resistance, comfort, and cornering performance.
